I’m still waiting for title to arrive on the 296 so have had to be very careful and cautious so far as no plates. I don’t think I have anything new to add. 458 roars, 296 kind of screams in a nice way. getting to let’s say 125 mph is an experience/event in the 458, in the 296 it’s just a decision, and then you are there. coolest thing about 296 so far is going from full electric mode to switching on the motor on the fly. The car just comes alive. I also like that you can change the tach color across different colors.
be careful when doing what you described...........................if youre in full eclectic mode and its cold out and then you want all the juice, youll be kicking on the ICE motor and then demanding full power while its still cold. its a huge flaw in the setup. id imagine youd never turn on the 458 and then a millisecond after bring it to 9k..........cause thats what is happening on the 296 when the motor kicks on and you punch it. .....from what i understand
I'm not exactly doing that, but appreciate the heads up. I was wondering if it's ok to switch to hybrid from electric while moving, but presumed the car wouldn't allow it if it was an issue. you're point is definitely taken.
Went to a cars and coffee this morning... my F8 and a few others.... love the 812 Comp!! Plenty more awesome cars there... nice show!

Image Unavailable, Please Login I took the 458 in for service and the dealership was unloading a car for inspection for another client… I took the opportunity to snap a pic!
Added a couple new garage mates for the Pista over the last couple months…..308, not in the garage at the moment (getting new belt service), Roma comfortably home, Lusso still at dealer awaiting pickup… Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Did you just purchase the Lusso? I'm asking because a friend of mine just put his up for sale in Michigan at Cauley. Looks exactly like the one you are showing. Probably coincidence.
How is owning both? I may be moving 458 to 296gts. Would you regret just having the 296 without the 458?
One last romp before winter hibernation. Love this thing. 7 hours in the car round trip. Started at 7000 ft elevation and 20 degrees, easy over the pass and down to 65 degree wine country with twisties and private roads. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Not my 488, but I was having fun with some of the photos that I snapped during an FCA drive. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
